THE DOCTOR'S STORY
Dr. McLean, of the warship Penguin, was, according to the stories of the men, absolutely unsparing in his attentions to them, and they cannot speak highly enough of him. The doctor gave a short account of the picking up of the- raft, similar to that given by the other officers, stating- that they were alongside the raft within half an hour of sighting it. Of his own unremitting- exertions the doctor said no word. "We put a boat out and brought them back," he said, "and found that they were nearly deatl from exposure, while eight had already passed away. Since then they have all been gradually recovering, and that is all there is about it.'" Questioned as to the condition of his patients this morning Dr. McLean said that they showed wonderful progress, and all were in a fair way to complete recovery. The worst case is that of Jordan, but he is progressing slowly towards recovery, and his ultimate return to health is assured.
